13 days 2 continents, 3 countries, 5 cities and many steaks 🥩 later, it’s finally here - Face It - Community Clash Advert (Dir. Cut) This job was special as it was my first time lighting a project abroad, my first time in South America and first time meeting / working super talented @jameskileendop As fun as those 13 days were, it wasn’t easy, writing lighting lists for locations you haven’t recce’d yet is tricky when abroad, in London you could call a fair few people if you need something in a pinch but it’s not as easy in other parts of the world. Dealing with local power means figuring out the circuits and how much voltage they can handle, then dealing local crew means you’re going to have issues with communication, not just due to the language barrier but there are 1000s of different terms / names for things in lighting and every country is different. For all the cons there were so many pros! Great crew, amazing locations, incredible food 10/10 would recommend. Have to give a big shoutout to @miguelcarmenesdp for not only bringing me on board but navigating the creative in a way that made my life easier as we always had a short amount of time to light, also an honourable mention to Mr Harry (@hcolemanfilm ) for keeping the vibes in check.

The World’s First TV Orchestra I was the gaffer on @skyuk latest TV advert for Sky Glass TV, featuring the talented English National Opera Orchestra late last year. The advert was shot in 4 days, 2 days lighting and capturing the orchestra that feature on the Sky Glass Screens, then a Pre light and shoot day capturing the rest of the promo. A big thanks to all the lighting crew and to Miguel for getting me on. Shall I do a lighting breakdown?

Lit this advert for Thompson Aero Seating, (TAS), showcasing their new luxury business class seat. Director: @eliskasky Producer: Andy Gordon Set Designer: @virna.pasquinelli DOP: @harrynelder Gaffer: @sachinparmarfilm Spark (Day 1): @duanejayonset Spark (Day 1/2): @mindaugas.kairys Spark (Day 2): @kongwako 1st AC: @erdvilas Production Co: @agentatlarge As the whole promo was shot on a crane we had our main sources of light rigged from the truss above. The top light was 4x Skypanel S60s in an 8x8x8 softbox to control the spill, the cove was lit using Skypanel S120s. Since the ad had multiple light changes during takes, I opted for the Ratpak wireless control to pre program the moves and change lighting from the above rig as needed. Shall I do a full lighting breakdown? #gaffer #gafferlife #skypanel #arri #toplight #8x8rig #wirelesscontrol #ratpack #lighting #filmlighting #gafferlighting
